Stem cells can help realise personalized cancer treatmentIsraeli researchers have reached a step closer to realising the dream of developing personalized cancer therapies by using cancer cells from an ovarian cancer patient, human embryonic stem cells, and mice to create a pre-clinical experimental model that mimics the way a tumour would develop in the patients body.

Down regulating an enzyme may prevent cancer from killing peopleA team of researchers lead by scientists at Barts and The London School of Medicine and Dentistry has shown that down regulation of an enzyme called phospholipase C?1 (PLC?1) can revert metastasis progression of cancer-the spread of cancer cells from a primary site to form tumours at distant sites.
